What Our Customers Say

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "My 4 month old granddaughter contracted a head cold on the plane flying to meet us at our boat in the Whitsundays. I always have a bottle of Tulsi on hand for the little ones as it's easy to administer and they don't seem to mind the taste. I gave her 3 drops in a tsp of water 3 times over the course of a day then again on the second day. Her cold was halted in its tracks and within a couple more days was completely gone. Her parents were amazed — and their holiday wasn't ruined by having a sick baby. Tulsi truly is a miracle in a bottle especially if administered in the early stages of infection." — Anne M
